Other than standups, Kunal Kamra has dedicated most of his time criticizing the ruling Government these days. The comedian is often seen criticizing the media journalist especially Arnab Goswami who he believes to be a BJP supporter who compliments the current government while ignoring its failures. However, these two ended up being on the same flight and Kunal tried to get Arnab to answer in replicating a Republic TV debate.
Kunal and Arnab on the same flight
Kunal Kamra these days has made a habit of taking the backlash in pace as he takes on the Modi government with his political jokes. The 30-year-old comedian is often seen sharing his own facts in his videos, in the name of comedy.
Don’t know about his comedy but he certainly is interested in “Modi, Arnab Goswami, and the general right-wing intellect. The Republic TV anchor Arnab Goswami has long been a favorite target of the comedian. Kunal has what can best be characterized as a dislike-like connection with Goswami. In that Kamra likes to tear into him every chance he gets.
This time he ended up meeting him on the same flight and guess what, the comedian did not want this opportunity to slip away.
Met Arnab Goswami on a flight & gave him a monologue about his ‘journalism’
All he did was call me mentally unstable & after sometime I had no choice but to return to my seat.
The entire flight I’ll keep pretending to use the loo just to tell him he’s piece of SHIT
F*CK Arnab

The comedian calls Arnab coward
Kunal posted a video on his twitter account where he is seen yelling out at Arnab calling him Coward. Kunal questions his journalism mentality and asks him to answer the people about his forever stand with the Narendra Modi government. The comedian asks Arnab again and again if he was a journalist, a nationalist or a coward.
I did this for my hero…
I did it for Rohit pic.twitter.com/aMSdiTanHo— Kunal Kamra (@kunalkamra88) January 28, 2020
The Republic editor looked calm and chilled in the video as he ignored answering all questions from Kunal. The 30-year-old comedian had also claimed that the journalist called him mentally unstable and asked him to give him space as he had important work to do.
“I’m a member of the Tukde-Tukde gang, you should discourage me…you should make enemies of the state restrained. You should make sure that the country is in safe hands of Narendra Modi and you should fight against dynasts like Rahul Gandhi who I support…” Kunal yells.
“You will have no answers. As I expected. Your weakness has gotten the better of you,” he added.
“I wanted to have a conversation with you politely. But you do not deserve my politeness. And this is not for you. This is for Rohit Vemula’s mother whose caste you were discussing on your idiotic show,” he says
Twitter is divided
Kunal Kamra tries to troll Arnab Goswami on an airplane.
Firstly this is infringement of private space. Apparently for which leftists fight. Privacy.
Secondly, Kunal Kamra will shit huge bricks if somebody else will do this to him. He will call the cops and cry fascism.

Saw the Arnab – Kunal Kamra video. I think Arnab was quite chilled, perhaps softly humming to himself – "Hum tum, ek Kamra main bandh hain."

The video where scum @kunalkamra88 is seen heckling Arnab Goswami is shocking. Remarkable restraint by Arnab Goswami. Shame on @IndiGo6E for allowing their passengers to be harassed like this in-flight. Is there no respect to privacy anymore? Arnab should sue Kamra. @republic

*Flight lands*
*Arnab quickly walks out, avoiding everybody's gaze, and into the airport washroom*
*Arnab looks into the mirror, still silent*
*Arnab bends closer to the mirror and whispers*
"You are Arnab Fucking Goswami. Don't you forget it."

Thanks for giving us a glimpse of what silent Arnab looks like Kunal. Never in my life had I thought I'd get to see this. https://t.co/Zr4WJYSSjr

Sofia shouted against Dr.Tamilisai on the flight.
Kunal Kamra shouts at Arnab Goswami on the flight.
Sofia & Kunal Kamra – liberals – no fault of theirs at all.
If any RW person does the same to people of opposite ideology he/she is intolerant or goonda. Sad state of affairs.

Arnab Goswami comes out of this looking calm, mature; a man whose journalistic work and exposés do the talking.
Kunal Kamra comes out of this sounding like an unstable man in uncontrollable meltdown; who takes no pride in his work on stage.
The video tells you who is winning 🙂 https://t.co/OBCpzPWh0p— Abhijit Majumder (@abhijitmajumder) January 28, 2020
Dear @republic , just wanted to let you know that my respect for Mr. Arnab went up by a few notches here. Perfect response by Arnab, mind you silence is a very powerful response, to the stand-up comedian Kunal Kamra who ended-up doing a comedy & guess what, nobody even laughed. pic.twitter.com/apJMGlGxLs
